    No brake lights and bypassing rear yellow box didn't fix???

    A little background on mine. Its a 1988. Suddenly no brake lights one night. Tail lights and marker lights work. (Although wiggling the marker light wires makes it go off then back on when you wiggle them again..) Fuses do check out okay. Tried replacing the brake light switch, and that changed...

    No brake lights and bypassing rear yellow box didn't fix???

    I've currently ran into the same problem myself. Got all lights, except brake lights. Fuses are fine, and tried replacing the switch but thats a no go either. I fear I will be tracing wires. :\

    New Rack and PS Pump, grinding noise. Help needed.

    Well, I bled the system with the wheels up in the air. I spent a good 30 minutes. First with the car off, easy turning. Then with the car on, just a little noise when I reached the stop. I checked underneath to make sure there were no visible leaks, and the rack bellow boots have been sucked in...

    New Rack and PS Pump, grinding noise. Help needed.

    I believe they are. The return is the further one back slightly to the left and the pressure line is the closer one forward, correct? I was told by a guy I work with just now that I should of been trying to do it with the wheels off the ground, to bleed the rack. Hopefully that is my only...

    New Rack and PS Pump, grinding noise. Help needed.

    This has me stumped, so I'm looking for some insight. I have an 88 Supra turbo, so its non-PPS. It began with a leaking passenger side seal on the rack. From when I noticed this, a few days later the pressure line burst. So, I decided to replace it all since it was all factory. I bought a reman...

    lowering engine Temp, coolant question.

    no, that would be filtered water. distilled water is...distilled. in simple terms it is you boil water, then let the steam condense back to water which removes impurities.

    Oil Advice from the autozone employee

    i work at an advance auto myself. from personal experience auto zone does seem to hire its share of dumb asses and is probably the worst. the other big two diy, advance and oreillys have their share of dumb asses too though. i've worked with a few myself. but i guess when you work in an industry...

    Wrong firing order?

    i don't know about the wires since my store doesn't sell them, but i would agree that the plugs seem to be shit specially for their price. a lot of guys in domestics tend to bring them back with complaints and its to the point that i don't recommend them to anyone unless they specifically say...

    Wrong firing order?

    both are right, they're just for different things. the wiring order is indeed 1-6, 3-4, 2-5. the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. wiring order is what you use for the coils to the plugs, the firing order is what order the plugs fire.
